29 She could money, cars, fear of the dark, your best friend or just strangers in bars - The Maine
(Val's POV)
Avoiding, that's what I've been doing for the last two days. I knew I should've been savoring my last moments with Jamie, but I didn't want it to be harder for her, for me. I'd miss her so much more than I would already.
She seemed to notice the avoidance, confusion filling her mind every time she looked at me, while just caused the guilt just piled on. It was for the better. Obvious or not what I was about to do. If Melbourne was worth a single vampire in order to break another vampire's heart, so be it. Melbourne was a billion more than me. Jamie was worth more than me.
(Jamie's POV)
I was really starting to panic on the day. Like really. No, even that would be would be an understatement. Evee still wasn't back, and Val was avoiding me like a plague. Like what the hell? We have sex, and suddenly he decides to act as if I didn't exist. Wasn't that what girls were supposed to do? He just had to do it now. When I needed him most. When I needed to hear his reassuring words, to hear that everything was going to be alright, and that it wasn't my fault. Even if it was, completely.
"Jamie," Jade sighed beside me, "being your best friend, I have the duty of cheering you up, even though I don't know what's wrong."
Hint, hint.
I rolled my eyes, "What's wrong?" I asked bitterly, "I thought that was what a boyfriend was supposed to ask."
I knew Val could hear me, wherever he was. He knew what was wrong, and he was just avoiding the problem, me. I just didn't get it. What did he want me to do? What did I do wrong?
"Aw Jamie," she cooed sympathetically and rubbed my arm in reassurance, "he's an idiot for doing it at a time like now."
Truth was, it didn't seem like such a big deal yet, that Melbourne was about to go to ashes, or at least the population was. I was waiting patiently, for them to come. I could wait forever, if it was possible.
A familiar ring tone buzzed from the deeper parts of the forest. Val immediately picked it up. I stood up from the log, walking closer towards him, trying to catch what he was saying. He was miles away, too far, even for my vampire ears.
The conversation didn't last long. I wondered who it was. He didn't mention knowing anyone out of the 'vampire place,' not that he knows my life story better.
"Don't...no...you said..." I heard him exclaim loudly, anger seeping through his voice. "Leave her out of the this! Just give up...no!"
I knew who it was, and I was terrified, but instead of running away, I ran towards him, until I was sure he knew I was nearby. Was that why he was avoiding me? Because he was on their side? Or because they were threatening him? Did he actually keep in contact with them, even after Josh.
"Val!" I called out, but he was gone. He. Was. Gone.
(Val's POV)
I ran. That's what I did. I just ran. One, I just couldn't face her, no way. Two, well, I was supposed to run, even if that meant breaking the love of my life's heart. As long as she was okay, I'd be fine.
If there was any other way, I'd take it. I knew, I'd be killing her, part of her, but she would move on, I was sure of it. She had Matt. She would go back to him, take care of him. It would be better, better than me. I'd caused everything. I kidnapped her. I was the reason her parent's were murdered right in front of her. She even said it herself. It was my fault. I hurt her multiple times, broke her arm. All unintentional, but too, unforgivable. I was a sad excuse for a man, let alone a vampire.
That's what love did. Break you, tear you. I hated it so much, and yet, I just couldn't get enough. I wanted to stop, so I wouldn't hurt the people around me. That's what I did, when I was careless.
Love was shit. It made me weak. It made the world weak. Why did love even exist? No one necessarily needed it. We could live happy lives without love. We didn't need love to be civil. In fact, love was probably the reason why we weren't civil. The fight for somebody's love was ridiculous.
What was I saying? Without love, I wouldn't have had Jamie. I would never have felt true happiness, true joy. I thought I loved Vanessa, but the love between Jamie and I made Vanessa and I seem like hate. It was, actually. If she really did love me, she wouldn't have left me, wouldn't have chased me down just to kill me for Gerard.
Gerard. That lowly bastard. He wants to rule the world? Pft, go ahead, he's welcome. As far as I was concerned, he was no where near powerful enough to control the whole world. Him being the king or what he preferred, wouldn't have a single affect on me, like Kevin Rudd.
Only thing was, Gerard actually knew me. He'd probably enslave me as his personal dog or something and make me follow him everywhere. He wouldn't let me out of his sight, not after what happened.
Yeah, it'd be Finn and me. His two right hands, although Finn would probably be his left hand, being twisted and all that. He damn well deserved it. I hoped he suffered until the day Jamie got her hands on him. I could see it already, the fight. Finn, Jamie. The result? Finn, in ashes. Jamie, holding the ashes.
Jamie. How she was going to hate me.
The repaired phone in my pocket buzzed.
"You have five more minutes Valeri," he said, "if I see anyone behind you. They won't live a second to see the fire."
"Whatever," I snapped, silently praying that Jamie wouldn't follow me. She wouldn't. She would go back. She had to.
"Good," he laughed darkly and the line went dead.
I gritted my teeth, finally seeing the last few trees of the forest in the distant. He'd be there, waiting on the highway, ready to go. As if we needed a car. We'd run faster than one would be capable of taking us.
Want to hear the good news?
They have Evee. She went straight to them. That's what she did, as soon as she was turned. She went straight to Gerard. Even I defended her, when they were all thinking she did. Turns out they were right. I knew, they knew there was something wrong with that girl.
Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear, or however it went.
Evee's scent wafted in the air, mixing in with the damp forest smell. She was here, around, close by. I sniffed the air, halting my run to a stop. I only had about 10 steps before I exposed myself to the passing cars. There was a light trail of Finn's scent, though I couldn't be sure. Might've been someone else's, but I was almost positive it was his.
"Valeri," a voice spoke, a figure emerging from behind me.
Gerard, the untraceable, hence the no smell thing. He smelt of nothing. Even the things he touched, it left nothing on him. It was like he washed really well or something. Maybe that was his secret, he just spent hours under the water. How sad. So much for taking over the world.
"Gerard," I returned stiffly.
"Now, I'm almost surprised. I guess your beloved Jamie didn't care enough to follow you," he taunted, leaving a black coat draped over his body, with a hood over the top.
I didn't say anything back, and instead, just stared right back at him. He didn't even flinch, and nor did I. I showed no emotion, blocking his intruding mind out of my head. He desperately wanted to know where the others were, and not bothering to hide it, he growled at my denied access label around my brain.
"Poor Evee, I'll tell her she made a mistake," Gerard snorted, and I just simply raised an eyebrow at him. He shook his head and turned around, meaning for me to follow him wherever he wished to go.
I followed, seeing I had no other option. I'd tried escaping too many times, only one being successful. The one with Jamie. That was it.
Finn. I could smell his strong scent, growing by the moment, as well as Evee's.
"Val!" her shrill scream filled the lonesome forest.

damn, i'm sad, for one, i'm tired, two, i'm piled with homework, and three, there's a new vampire story called 'Love Sucks' not that it's copyright... but on that subject, i've been thinking about changing the name for a while. Love sucks doesn't really apply to the story anymore. i was thinking, something along the lines of promises...? A Broken Promise? hmm... ?
